Election Bomb Threats

YouTube Video

Title: Anonymous
Warning For November 5, 2012
Date: October 24, 2012
Source:YouTubeAbstract: Anonymous claim they have planted a bomb within a US
government building to detonate On November 5, 2012, the day before the 2012 U.S.
Presidential Election (YouTube,
2012).

Abstract: A You Tube threat to bomb a government building along
with a plan by other members of ‘Anonymous’ to storm the White House and
Congress in an attempt to arrest government officials the day before the presidential
election could provide the right crisis for Barack Obama to secure a second
term.

A
video uploaded to You Tube features a masked individual claiming to
represent the hacking collective ‘Anonymous’ stating that, “200 kilograms of
composite Nitroglycerin and commercial explosives have effectively been
concealed in a government building, situated in the United States of America.”

The individual adds
that, “On the 5th of November 2012 the device will detonate remotely via the
transmission control protocol, leaving behind severe consequences.”

The video is clearly
an attempt to portray ‘Anonymous’ as a violent threat. The You Tube account
responsible for uploading the clip was only created six days ago and
immediately began uploading other Anonymous videos in an effort to associate
itself with the hacktivist collective. You Tube has allowed the video to remain
online without taking it down for over two days when far less obscene content
is routinely censored within hours.

It is important to
stress that other members of Anonymous have issued statements such as this one distancing
themselves from the bomb threat. Other ‘Anonymous’ members have claimed the You
Tube account is a deliberate fake meant to discredit the group, which is
entirely plausible.

However, the bomb
threat coincides with another ‘Anonymous’ event scheduled for November
5th during which Anonymous members will attempt to “arrest all members
of congress, the president, and all supreme court justices where they will be
held without bond until a full independent investigation and trial have been
completed.”

“We must re-elect our
government within 90 days in order to stave of unrest,” the website adds.

In the FAQ section of
the website for the event, the organizers make it clear that they will be
unarmed but are expecting violence and are willing to be shot dead.

“We are not
suggesting that we not ever fight back in the face of violence. We are merely
suggesting that this action remain peaceful until the government becomes
violent and begins arresting or shooting the people,” states
the website.

Promotional material
for the event draws its inspiration from the ending of V For Vendetta,
the movie which concludes with mask-wearing crowds marching on the Houses of
Parliament in London before they are bombed. November 5 is of course the date
of the historical Gunpowder Plot, in which Guy Fawkes and his cohorts conspired
to kill King James before their plot was foiled.

The Twitter account for the event
makes it clear, “This is not a Protest! This is a Citizen Action.”

This plan to storm
government buildings and arrest Obama along with other officials has been
public since at least June. It is inconceivable that the people pushing this
event have not been completely infiltrated by the federal government by this
point.

Our office has been
visited by the FBI and some of our listeners questioned by the Secret Service
for making relatively mild comments on the Internet in comparison to the threat
to storm and bomb government buildings, as the video and the ‘Anonymous’ event
are promoting.

If Alex Jones started
making bomb threats and encouraging his listeners to storm the White House and
arrest Obama, Jones himself would be arrested within hours, yet this event has
been public for months and the feds have done nothing to intercept it.

To think that this
entire event hasn’t been completely infiltrated by the feds is beyond naive,
which is why we urge people not to take part in it.

The event is so
loosely organized that specific times and details of actions are unlisted. This
is par for the course with Anonymous, which as a collection of individuals with
no organizational structure is incredibly easy to be infiltrated and used by
the authorities as a “cut-out” organization. Numerous former Anonymous members
have gone public to confirm that the
group is completely infiltrated by the FBI and is used to stage
attacks.

The event is also
being promoted by individuals known to put out misleading information. Back
in 2009 it emerged that white supremacist radio host Hal Turner was an FBI
operative who was being paid by the feds to “publish information which would
cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest.”

We see a similar
theme emerging with this ‘Anonymous’ event. It sounds like a trap to sucker in
well-meaning activists and make it easy for the authorities to link them with
violence. The individuals pushing the event are also trying to affiliate
themselves with the Oath Keepers, a non-violent group of former police and
military service members who are routinely demonized by the establishment as an
extremist organization.

Indeed, on the website
for the event, ‘Anonymous’ puts the call out for the Oath Keepers to “protect”
them once violence breaks out during the march.

Could the bomb threat
and the “mass arrest” event be a ploy on behalf of the Obama administration?
The fact that the chaos is planned for the day before the election would
provide a perfect opportunity for Obama to be portrayed as a victim.

“Remember, President
Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right?” Penn told Matthews. “And the
president right now seems removed. It wasn’t until that speech [after the
bombing] that [Clinton] really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a
similar” defining moment, said Penn.

In
an article concerning Obama’s plunging popularity before the 2010
mid-terms, Robert Shapiro, former senior advisor to President Bill Clinton,
wrote that the only thing that could conceivably rescue Obama’s presidency was
a terror attack on the scale of the Oklahoma City bombing.

“The bottom line here
is that Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership,” said Shapiro,
adding, “He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that
he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an
Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.”

If you think the
Obama administration would never dare stage a crisis for its own political
benefit, look no further than the Fast and Furious scandal, a deliberate
program to ship guns to Mexican drug lords that resulted in the deaths of
hundreds of people including a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Whether this turns
out to be the “October surprise” that the likes of ABC
News have predicted or not remains to be seen – it’s more likely to
end up being a bunch of teenagers stood around in DC doing nothing – but the
fact that a group known to be infiltrated by the FBI is openly talking about
plans for terrorism and storming the White House the day before the election
should be a major concern for everyone (Infowars,
2012).
